Anpiimtion filed September To all whom it: may m z eerns Be itknown thatwe, Cir AS. E. Hem, TIEARY L. FER'RIS, and XATHAN 1. Hunt, citizens ofthe United States, residing at Harvard, in the county of lleileiiry andState of Illinois. hnveinveeted eertain new and useful Improvements inill'lilb; and we do declare the lbllowing io he ti 13112. e For, andexact desori r 7 tion of the invention. such as will enable othersskilled in the nrtto which it nppertaihe to make and use the some,reference being bad to the aeeonipnnying drawings, and to leiier orfigures ei'referenee marked thereon. whieh .ii a part of thisSptUlilL'ZlllUll.

Fignrel ofthe drawings 18 n vertieel Fig. 2 is ii plan tionnl view of on1' device. View of the ring, and Fig. 3 is atrmisverse ver iicalseeiiionnl View of the device.

The invention rel-Lites io rev f for hay or other material; and ileehjeet is to provide a locking device to sustain the load of the carrierat any desired point, nsuelly over rheioeriee w gen.

The invention consists in eofistrneiing a de vice by which thenelhntingrope of the earrier may be reversed, the devioe swiveling uponthe lower end of the edrrieix It consists, further, in attaching withinthe carrier :1 looking device of peenlinr eonstrne tion, herein-Lifterdescribed, which is tripped or opened by a stud or i-u j :etion fixed tothe beam upon which the enrrier travels.

Inthenoeempanying drawings, A represents the beam or waynapon which thecarrier travole in the Hhiiliil welliuaown nninner.

ii is he carrier, of the nsnai shape, having {our iiiwardiy-extending'arms, b 5, each provided with its wheel Vie travelupon the beam A. Sin-roundingthecnrrier near its lowerend is thecircumferential groove I), below which i of the extension (Z? Strikeswhen the pulley is the outWnrdiyinelinod circular flange if.

ii; a Swivel-ring fitting and turning in groove If.

me The SitiLl ring has on one eidz. an extension, 0, in which a pnliey,c, has bearings, and on the opposite side an e314: rirovided with itproper opening. ie 5m (No model.)

the lifting and onrrying rope is knotted or Billerwise secured.

i) is the hanging pulley that supports the load, inelosed and pivoted inthe block (1. The ion'erend of the Noel; i has pivoted to it the analheelz, d. and has rising vertically from its end the rod or exiension (2provided with the hemispherienl head d. as shown.

H is a slotted direetingpin, through tl1elongitndinal slot of which apivot runs, having its ends fixed in a eenirei pee iendienler slot inthe locking-block. The said pin drops in l front? of the rod 1' anddirects it into the slot e 1 out of the slot? 0". 1 The operation of thedevice is as follows: l Supposing the rounded head (1 isloeked orremined hy menus ol' the eonenved edge and hook ol' the retainingbloek,the loeliinghloek heing Sth zll :in angle, with one of its arms orextensionselevated uthove theother, the noteh 1' out of the horizontal],and the rodf lying in the Slot, 1 The carrier is moving from themowtowardtheloznledu'ngon. henmerthe latter, the trippinghloek (1 passesinto the noteh w and strikex the elevated arm on the side of the some,partially rotating the lock lllQ-ljltflli.

Having thus described our invention, what we desire to secure by Lettersutent is 1. ,l n n lmy-enrrier, the combination of the ltmking-hloek E,tripping-block G, retainingpieee F, and slotted direetingpin H, snbstuirtinlly Specified.
